Leaking?
Attention, Wonderful Women,
Let's talk about something that affects many of us but often remains unspoken: urinary incontinence, or what we commonly refer to as leaking. It's not just a small issue; it impacts up to 40% of Australian women. Yes, you read that right.
Now, let's dive into Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). Picture this: you're laughing with friends, going for a run, or lifting groceries, and suddenly, there it is – that unexpected leakage. It's not just inconvenient; it can be downright embarrassing. But what causes it? Well, SUI occurs when the pelvic floor, our body's support system for the bladder, isn't as strong as it should be. And guess what? Pregnancy and giving birth, regardless of how you deliver, are common culprits behind this weakened pelvic floor. During pregnancy, your body undergoes remarkable changes to accommodate your growing baby, and these changes can affect more than just your belly.
But here's the thing – it's not just about pregnancy and childbirth. Did you know that your breathing pattern and the way your ribs, pelvis, and spine move also play a role in urinary leakage?
So, to all the amazing women out there, know that you deserve to feel confident, strong, and leak-free. Let's break the silence and start the conversation about pelvic health because you deserve nothing less.
